"This charming little beach is the perfect spot for a day of fun in the sun. With plenty of shops and restaurants just behind the beach, you can shop until you drop and then jump right into the sand and the sea. It's usually not crowded, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the sunset without the hustle and bustle of the bigger beaches in the area."
